Okay, so, that's not really what happened.
We only stuck Olivia with thorns.
Artists Create Original Art:
I seem to really like this question. Okay, so, I guess I got my inspiration from Faerie Queens and such. I don't know. In YA lit, the queens are always portrayed wearing wreaths of flowers. As are May Queens from the Middle Ages. So, it's strongly symbolic of magic and spring and such. Also, and I don't mean to be sacrilegious, but even though I'm not Christian, I've always been sort of interested with Christian symbolism. So, instead of a crown of thorns, we made a crown of roses, which took the Christian symbolism and mashed it with the more pagan one. I don't know. I didn't let anyone else in the group in on my personal reasoning because I'm selfish like that. Personally, I thought it was really interesting, though.

Hannah, trying over again, because obviously I hadn't done it right. |
